wouldn't a 300 also teach a rider to be lazy?? Or maybe some bad habits?? When I got back into it I started with an xr 400 then a drz 400, a brief interlude with a ktm 200 and then my current 300. The 400's and 300 don't require much in the way of clutching ... as a result .. i know nothing about clutch technique. Lots of old guys like me run 300's for the lazy man factor so you can chug along at the end of a long day. The grunty motor will cover for your mistakes. Bet i'd know more about working a clutch and keeping a bike on the pipe if I started with a 125.
